User manual SEVERIN CAFÉ CAPRICE KA 5700

[. . . ] With this machine, SEVERIN presents a new generation of coffee makers: Vapotronic brewing system . . . the coffee maker is easy to operate The Vapotronic brewing system allows to make excellent rich-flavoured coffee as the maximum amount of flavour is extracted from the coffee grounds ­ real coffee for the connoisseur. And this is how the Vapotronic-brewing system works: A 1400 watt element heats the water up to the perfect brewing temperature. Once the perfect brewing temperature has been reached the valve opens and the brewing cycle begins. [. . . ] - Place a paper filter (size 1 x 4) into the plastic filter and add fine ground coffee: We recommend using - approx. - Replace the filter lid (5) back onto the filter holder (6) and swing back the filter holder. - Open the water reservoir lid (3) and fill the reservoir (4) with the required amount of cold water. The minimum quantity of water used should be for two medium-sized coffee cups (illustration II). - The water level marks inside the water reservoir help you to measure the amount of water needed for the number of cups of coffee you wish to prepare: - water level marks on the left-hand side: medium-sized coffee cups (approx. 125 ml) - water level marks on the right-hand side: smaller sized coffee cups. Be careful not to exceed the maximum water level of 8 medium-sized cups as otherwise boiling water may be ejected and cause burns. This is important as the "Vapotronic"-system can only operate while the lid is closed. - Place the glass jug (9) with its lid (8) on top of it onto the hotplate (10). The jug lid opens the non-drip valve of the filter holder (illustration III). - Switch the hotplate (10) on by turning the on/off switch (1) to ON-position. Alternatively you can leave the hotplate switched off during the filtering process and switch it on only after the filtering process is complete. - Switch on the water reservoir element - - - - - by depressing switch (2) (illustration IV). With the water reservoir filled to its maximum capacity, it will take about 5 minutes to heat the water. Once the perfect brewing temperature has been reached the valve inside the water reservoir opens and the brewing cycle begins. The water reservoir element will switch off automatically and the pilot light on the right-hand side will go out. The water starts to flow through the filter holder into the glass jug (9). The filtering process is complete when the total amount of water has passed through and no water is left in the filter holder. When removing the glass jug (9) from the machine once the filtering process is complete, the non-drip valve of the filter holder will close and prevent coffee from dripping onto the hotplate of the machine. To keep remaining coffee hot, replace the glass jug (9) back onto the hotplate (10). The hotplate (10) will keep the coffee hot as long as you leave it switched on. Should you wish to start several brewing cycles one after the other, allow the machine to cool down for at least 5 minutes with the reservoir lid open before re-using it.
